Profiling just a few of the places that seemed to stall yielded somelovely things, like cupsd reading in and parsing descriptions forevery printer ever known to man, even if there's no printer connected.Or my favorite.. hald reloading and reparsing the same XML hardware descriptionfiles.. ~50 times, _each_.

Utterly insane.

(And these aren't Fedora specific problems btw, every distro shipping those bits will have the same dumb behaviour [modulo versions])
